Canadaready 9,437 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Does anyone else have the feeling that Smith and Ally are giving these players a little boost in the confidence department...esp Hutton?By all accounts, from what I have been reading and hearing, Hutton has actually shown some skill lately?

Davy 68 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 He has been playing well recently and a lot of people back him.IMO, because he's Scottish.I'll probably get slated for this but if he was foreign then I don't think he would get half the support he gets.I personaly, don't think he's good enough and my first signing in the Summer would be a replacement for him.

Craigy 0 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Don't think he has tbh.Yes he has done well getting forward but anyone that watched today will notice he twice got caught out easily and gave away a needless penalty.Wait till he makes a blunder that leads to us getting beat then everyone will slate him.Don't get me wrong i am not against him but he shouldnt be a regular yet.

trueblue1872 2 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 He has been doing well since Walt and Ally came in.Today he was great going forward more effective than burke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was good going forward today, BUT scary defending and that penalty showed just how stupid and reckless he can sometimes be.We can do better IMO.

Stardog 11 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 He's always been ok going forward, but defensively he's dire and was no different today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 He has been doing ok since Smith and the staff came in, still not good enough and what was the penalty incident all about?

CANUCKBEAR 0 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Too inconsistant, gives the ball away, awkward tackler, and when he goes forward his decision making is scary. Iam sorry but hes gotta be a backup if he stays at ibrox. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny 9 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I have been one of his biggest critics, but under Smith and Ally he's been a new player.The only downside has been his failed elbow during the Dunfermline game and the successful one today which conceded a penalty.Ability wise he's improved and it's not the same mediocre Hutton.On this form I'm happy for him to stay in the team, and I NEVER thought I'd hear myself say that.

nvager 498 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Sorry Danny, but he's still the same idiot at heart. You saw the elbow last week and the penalty today - he's reckless. No brain whatsoever. He also missed a sitter today when he should have scored.His DEFENDING is awful, players get in behind him regularly and get their crosses over. !st and foremost he is a defender and he's SCARY.

Danny 9 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Sorry Danny, but he's still the same idiot at heart.I know, I don't disagree at all.You saw the elbow last week and the penalty today - he's reckless. No brain whatsoever. He also missed a sitter today when he should have scored.He's not a striker. And I agree he's stupid.His DEFENDING is awful, players get in behind him regularly and get their crosses over. !st and foremost he is a defender and he's SCARY.In recent games I respectfully disagree. He's been far more solid and his positional sense has been vastly improving. For example, his last-ditch block to prevent a clean strike on goal by Naismith I think it was, and also when he was in the middle of the park, and saw a runner making his way to the (Killie) left wing and tracked back even though there was no actual danger yet. He's reading the game MUCH better now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUEDIGNITY 33,709 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Improving in what way like ? Has he stopped askin bouncers the '' Do you know who I am '' question. A heidless doo at times on and off the park. Would look a star at Dunfermline. Not for me I'm afraid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excelsior2k5 0 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Hutton is Anne Diamonds friend and we should all be saying "Alan Hutton, you are the weakest link, goodbye"Guy aint a footballer.And that penalty yesterday was just plain stupid by Hutton.

ibleedblue 0 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 i think he'd be better if smith went with 5 at the back, when fit, Ugo, Weir and Hemdani with Smith and Hutton given more chance to bomb forward Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 54,403 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 If we were to replace Hutton then who would people replace him with? I garuntee that the first name to come up would be Whittaker of Hibs. People are slating Hutton's defending capabilities but Whittaker is an attacking full back who is not brillant at defending either. We should just stick with Hutton between now and the end of the season because he has improved dramatically since Walter took over and it's not fair to judge any players form from PLG's tender IMO. Like Walter said a clean slate for everybody! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie 505 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I think in the last couple of months Hutton has been pretty good. On Sunday he was excellent but was a bit daft at their goal.At the same time though those kind of blocking challenges happen in every game and he was only penalised because the ref was trying to even the balance IMO.He needs to improve his overall discipline and I think he will under Smith. Might save us a few pounds in the summer if he can do that as Lowing is also a decent young right back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
